Manure Separation System

XACT Systems has introduced a manure separation system for large hog farms. The high-efficiency, low-maintenance Centrisys Dewatering System has operated in municipal, food processing and industrial applications since 1987. Hog operations can use this same high-performance system to separate up to 80% of the solids in liquid hog manure. The liquid manure is separated within the enclosed centrifuge, with a minimal amount of odor released. Unlike typical separator effluent, the XACT dewatering system's separating process provides increased air in liquid effluent and degradation of accumulated solids in the lagoon, reducing odor and improving nutrient management. The dewatering system also reduces the phosphorus content of the liquid effluent, increasing application levels and reducing pumping and hauling costs. The heavy-duty system is mounted on a sturdy metal frame completely prewired and plumbed for fast installation. It features only four bearings and is rated for over 100,000 hours of operation. The liquid manure is pumped by a positive displacement pump to ensure a steady feed rate.
